상승 비행에 의해 위치에너지를 축적하는 태양동력 장기체공 무인기에 대하여 설계 인자 분석을 수행하였다. 위치에너지 축적을 위한 비행과 관련된 인자인 최저 및 최고 수평 비행 고도, 활강 및 상승 각도, 설계점 속도 및 고도, 활강 및 상승 시작 시각을 분석 대상으로 하였다. 태양동력 무인기 구성품의 중량 모델을 이용하여 항공기 크기 및 중량을 결정하고 비행 중 생산 및 소모하는 에너지를 계산함으로써 임무 수행에 필요한 배터리 용량을 결정하였다. 각 설계 인자값과 무인기 중량의 관계를 연구하였다. 최고 수평 비행 고도, 활강 및 상승 각도, 설계점 속도 및 고도, 활강 및 상승 시작 시각에는 설계가 가능하도록하는 범위가 존재하며 이 범위 내에서 총 중량을 최소화하는 최적값이 존재하였다.

기존 STKM11A steel 소재로 설계된 자동차용 텐션링크를 인장강도 245 MPa인 알루미늄 합금(A356) 소재로 대체하기 위한 경량화 설계 과정이 인장, 굽힘 및 비틀링 강성의 변화 측면에서 연구하였다. 부품들의 안전성을 희생시키지 않고 자동차 부품 경량화를 이루기 위해 많은 연구자들이 보다 가볍고 강한 서스펜션 링크들에 관한 연구를 진행해 왔다. 기존 I-빔 형태의 단면을 지닌 링크는 특별한 방향에 대하여 약한 단점이 있을 수 있으므로 경량화 이후에도 모든 방향의 하중을 견딜 수 있는 최적의 링크부품 형상을 연구하였다. 다양한 형태의 링크들을 설계 및 분석하여 최적의 형상을 얻을 수 있었다. 최적화된 설계는 경량화 이전 steel 소재로 설계된 링크보다 40% 이상 경량화 시킬 수 있었으며 이를 통해 텐션링크 개발의 안전한 경량화 설계조건을 제시할 수 있었다.

We developed the durability estimation and design systems to minimize the volume, considering the durability, efficiency, and design requirements of worm gears. That is, we consider each kind of factors affecting on durability on the basis of AGMA Standard for the cylindrical and double-enveloping worm gears. We also estimate input power on the basis of wear and durability, bending strength and deflection of worm shaft, and we developed the durability estimation and design systems of power transmission worm gears introducing the optimal design method on the personal computer to be easily used in field. Also, we developed a method which converts the design variables obtained from the optimal design method to integer values(number of worm threads, number of worm threads, number of worm wheel teeth, etc.,) to be used in real design and production. The developed durability estimation and design method can be easily applied to the design of worm gears used as power transmission devices in machineries and is expected to be used for weight minimization of worm gear unit.

연구는 병렬 컴퓨팅 기반에서 자동화된 격자 생성 기법과 입자 군집 최적화(PSO) 알고리즘을 적용한 최적 설계 프레임워크를 개발하여 이를 인공위성 어댑터 모듈의 구조 최적 설계에 적용하였다. 자동화된 격자 생성 기법을 적용하여 구조 형상 변화를 가능하게 함으로써 폭넓은 범위에서 최적 형상 모델을 도출할 수 있었다. 또한 최적화 알고리즘인 PSO 알고리즘을 병렬 계산환경과 접목하고, 계산 성능을 최대화하기 위해 비동기식 PSO 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 그 결과 최적화에 걸리는 계산 시간을 줄일 수 있었다. 최적화 작업에서 제한 조건으로는 고유진동수와 어댑터에 발생하는 최대 응력 값을 고려하였다. 결과적으로 인공위성 어댑터 모듈의 최적 설계를 통해 인공위성 구조 질량 감소를 유도해 내었다.

The purpose of this study was to improve the design of a mooring line by attaching a lumped mass to it on the seabed. A numerical analysis of the redesigned mooring system is performed to analyze the effect of the weight of the attached lumped mass using the commercial software Orcaflex. The ultimate tension of the mooring system with the lumped mass is compared with that of a bare mooring line in the original design. An appropriately designed weight for the lumped mass is found to induce a critical lifted point in the mooring line by floater motion in the ultimate condition to move toward the floater position from the anchor point, while maintaining a similar safety factor for the mooring line. On the other hand, it is shown that excess weight for the lumped mass induces snapping in a mooring line, resulting in low safety factor for the mooring system. The distance between lumped weights is shown to be a minor parameter affecting the safety of a mooring line, although a shorter line has an advantage from an economic point of view. Using the optimal weight for the lumped mass attached to the mooring line on a seabed reduces the mooring line length and installation area occupied by a mooring system under real sea conditions.

Recent, more and more steel deck bridges are adopted for the design of long span bridges and the upgrading of existing concrete deck bridges, mainly because of reduced self weight, higher stiffness and efficient erection compared to concrete decks. The main objective of this study is to propose on formulation of the design optimizations to develop an optimal desist program required for optimum desist for orthotropic steel-deck bridges. The objective function of the optimization is formulated as a minimum initial cost design problem. The behavior and design constraints are formulated based on the ASD and LRFD criteria of the Korean Bridge Design Code(1996). The optimum design program developed in this study consists of two steps. In the first step the system optimization of the steel box girder bridges is carried out. And in the second step the program provided the optimum design of the orthotropic steel-deck with close ribs. In the optimal design program the analysis module for the deck optimization is based on the Pelican Esslinger method. The optimizer module of the program utilizes the ADS(Automated Desist Synthesis) routines using the optimization techniques fuor constrained optimization. From the results of real application examples, The cost effectiveness of optimum orthotropic steel-deck bridges designs based on both ASD and LRFD methods is investigated by comparing the results with those of conventional designs, and it may be concluded that the design developed in this study seems efficient and robust for the optimization of orthotropic steel-deck bridges

With increasing competition, the engineering industry is in need of optimization of designs that would lead to minimum cost or weight. Recent developments in Genetic Algorithms (GAs) makes it possible to model and obtain optimal solutions in structural design that can be put to use in industry. The main objective of this paper is to illustrate typical applications of GAs to practical design of structural systems such as steel trusses, towers, bridges, reinforced concrete frames, bridge decks, shells and layout planning of buildings. Hence, instead of details of GA process, which can be found in the reported literature, attention is focussed on the description of the various applications and the practical aspects that are considered in Genetic Modeling. The paper highlights scope and future directions for wider applications of GA based methodologies for optimal design in practice.

A direct differentiationmethod is presented for the shape design sensitivity analysis of axisymmeetric elastic solids. Based on the exisymmetric boundary integralequaiton formulation, a new boundary ntegral equatio for sensitivity analysis is derived by taking meterial derivative to the same integral identity that was used in the adjoint variable melthod. Numerical implementation is performed to show the applicaiton of the theoretical formulation. For a simple example with analytic solution, the sensitivities by present method are compared with analytic sensitivities. As an application to the shape optimization, an optimal shape of a gas turbine disc toinimize the weight under stress constraints is found by incorporating the sensitivity analysis algorithm in an optimizatio program.

This paper deals with the design problem of a man-on-board(MOB) storage and retrieval warehousing system which is suitable for storing items of small size and light weight. It is assumed that the operator carries out a sequence of retrieving(or storing) operations traveling on a specially designed truck. Considering the operating characteristics of the man-on-board system, an optimal design model is developed in which the investment and maintenance costs of the system are minimized over a time horizon satisfying a set of constructional restrictions. The model is formulated as a nonlinear integer program and a search algorithm is proposed to find an optimum solution.
